Witches v Aces Play off Semi Final 1st leg 29/9/22


Recommended Posts

Surprised no thread started already

Would've called this one as too tight to name a favourite a month or so ago but the potential fragility at reserve since Danyon's injury tips it now towards the Aces

Witches haven't shown the ability to pick up regular big home wins but this would be the perfect time to pull one out

Even a 20 point lead wouldn't make then favourites but would make it very interesting

To be honest,,, I don't care,,,I won't be going,,, washing my hair.  How anyone can take this meeting seriously is beyond me,, you can't have a play off system of who faces who on where you finish in league when all league meetings haven't taken place.  Would be funny to now have a few rain offs before the Sheffield Ipswich meet,, with Ipswich then finishing top and then facing Wolves,,

The rules have been clear all season on the completion date for meetings, it’s beyond me why promotions don’t do more to ensure this happens. Far too many unused dates leading to trying to cram them in the last couple of weeks. To be fair though had we not had the cancelled days for the queens mourning it may have just been possible.

Max only scored 16+1 last time we were there so Belle Vue won’t miss him, said BSF in their usual inept manner. 

40-16+6=30-60 to Ipswich. 

He top scored in the home meeting too!

Belle Vue to choke in a similar manner to all the other times and like PC in the ‘77 world final.

I’ll have a bash. That 16+1 literally came out of the blue and nobody was expecting anything like that from him. He’s never found Foxhall to his liking and his score of 3 earlier on at Foxhall was much less of a shock. How’d I do?

I fully expect Belle Vue to take a lead to Manchester, the reserve pairing for Ipswich isn't going to be good enough not for the want of trying!  42-48 Aces

I think we’ll take a lead to Manchester. Not one that’ll ultimately be enough, but a lead nonetheless. Our reserve situation is a worry I agree, especially with Starke’s ongoing fitness issues, but other than Wolves who also have poor reserves, I think we’ll get away with it here as Blowhorn and Etheridge are not great travellers normally.

Agree with both of you. Fricke is normally very ropey at Foxhall to say the least. Superb last time out though so who knows what Fricke would/would have turned up.

Think Aces reserves combined will outscore Ipswich even if they do travel poorly
